    dont need any at the moment. but will be looking to eventually get them. as i would like to collect my own seeds eventually. and was thinking maybe they could make a seed exchange on this site. thats if they havent already got one.
    but will be looking for the yellow carrot heirloom/heritage seeds and tomatoes very soon. just to start myself off.

    I do have some extra heirloom tomato seeds left now, if you'd like them, you are welcome to them, i can send you some pepper seeds too, just let me know how hot you like your peppers.

    The tomato and pepper seeds might be fun to start once you get them, and if you have a spot in your house to keep them well into the season, all the better.

    PM me your address if you want them, and i can pop them into the mail.

    You're welcome, and dont forget to tell me how hot you can stand peppers.

    Oh and i have some seeds for a really cool tomato, called OSU Blue, and yes it is a bluish color, but its not an heirloom though, somthing fun and new.
